“When it comes to helping children people just need to be aware,” said Klyman, a Teaneck native who raised approximately $10,000 last year for a Paramus police officer whose 5-year-old daughter conquered her battle with leukemia. “People need to know what other people are going through.”

Seeing the community’s effort has been humbling for Levy.

"The amount of charity given and the kindness performed in Evan's memory is astounding," Levy said.

“I know Evan had a tremendous effect on people when he was living and it’s very meaningful to us to know that he continues to have a meaningful impact on people even though he’s physically not with us.”
